Interested in learning more about educational research? Join the new LEAPS Educational Research Journal Club. The first session will be held Friday, Sept. 18.

The Leaders in Education: Academy of Presidential Scholars (LEAPS) invites faculty from all UMB schools and career stages to participate in this new facilitated journal club. We'll meet virtually twice each semester to discuss selected articles in a relaxed, collegial setting. Discussions will examine the teaching methods and the educational research approaches explored in the articles. Read the article beforehand if you can or simply join the conversations when you're available. Session dates and article selections are listed below.
